Product Description

Product Description

Namibia's popularity as a safari and adventure-activity destination has taken off exponentially, with a corresponding increase in the range of options available to travellers. This second edition provides a thorough update of accommodation and activities on offer in game parks and towns alike, including detailed accommodation listings for guest farms, lodges and bush-camps. As well as desert activities including dune-boarding, ballooning and quad-biking, the coverage extends to the fascinating range of wildlife adapted to Namibia's climate, visiting bushman villages, eco-travel and exploring local culture. The picturesque capital of Windhoek is covered in detail, but the main bulk of the guide is given to the pristine yet accessible wilderness of Namibia - from the desolation of the Skeleton Coast and awesome Namib Desert to the lush Kavango and Caprivi Strip in the east. Some pioneering, self-drive routes have been added to the guide, with GPS co-ordinates and driving tips.


From the Publisher

Namibia: The Bradt Travel Guide' is a new guide containing over 480 pages and 39 high quality colour pictures. The guide's nine introductory chapters include the practical details of getting there, planning & preparing for a trip, suggested itineraries, organising fly-drive trips, driving in Namibia, camping & walking in the bush, Namibia's natural environment, history, people & culture, health & safety, and much more. The guide's 50 maps number virtually every road in the country, and include detailed street plans for the major towns and cities - Windhoek alone has five full pages of maps devoted to it. There are 13 regional chapters including Windhoek, The Namib-Naukluft National Park, The Skeleton Coast, The Kaokoveld, Etosha, The Triangle & Bushmanland, Owamboland, and the Kavango & Caprivi Strip. Each discusses virtually every small town, hotel, lodge, bush camp, B&B and English-speaking guest farm in each area, together with their contact details, directions to get there and a detailed, personal review of their facilities and activities. There are sections on orientation, where to stay and eat, and what to see and do. Up-to-date prices are included throughout. There is extensive in-depth coverage of the national parks and wildlife. Which parks to visit, how to get to them and get the most out of them. It's a very practical guide. Many walking trails are described, and even the particular game species most likely to be seen at individual water-holes is Etosha National Park are discussed. This is the most comprehensive and detailed guide to Namibia currently available. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Currently the best guide to Namibia, 17 Feb 2008
By C. Sims (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having spent a fair amount of time in Namibia we have collected almost every guide book there is and I have to say this is the one we use most. I like the layout more than the others and it is generally more informative and more up to date. A good all round guide book to this amazing country.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Independent travellers, 22 Mar 2005
Great guide. Much more detailed and up to date compared to the Lonely Planet. As usual it's the excellent standard of Bradt, you certainly dont feel you're trailing around the country on the same route as everyone else - lots of great ideas and suggestions. Namibia is one great destination and this book takes you all over with practical advice and clarity.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent with some wonderful detail, 2 May 2004
By A Customer
This is what a travel book should be. All the information you need with a dash of personal input descibing the country. It has that extra bit of knowledge letting you know the history and detail of what you're looking at, rather than a dry list of addresses and maps.

There are a few minor errors, as with all guidebooks, and the map for guesthouses in Windhoek is frustratingly hopelessly inaccurate.

Lots and lots of detail and info makes this a must pack.
